Joyful Mysteries
The Incarnation goes on in us.
Genesis 1: 27
God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.
Woman was taken from the side of the man
The Church was born from the
pierced side of Christ.What flowed out was Blood and water
Blood for the Eucharist
Water for Baptism
John 19: 31-34
It was the Day of Preparation, and to avoid the bodies’ remaining on the cross during the Sabbath—since that Sabbath was a day of special solemnity—the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away. Consequently the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with him and then of the other. When they came to Jesus, they saw he was already dead, and so instead of breaking his legs one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water.
The Annunciation
And the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary.
Mary was conceived without sin.

because of the sin of Adam and Eve.Light, Happiness and Peace

My soul proclaims

and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.

The Birth of Jesus
1. Hail Mary - July 23, 1994 - I am Jesus - 4:00
R. Love for you, my special, loving Savior! You are the sweetest, the kindest, the most wonderful Savior and I love You with all of my heart.
2. Hail Mary - July 17, 1994 - Spirit, Open Me To The Love Of God Within Me
R: How do you see me? Do you see the Christ that is alive in me? Do you know I am a Christian, Christ-like, by how I act? Do you know I am a Christian by how I love?
Do I love you? Do I complain and not even know it? Do I see myself for the way I am or am I blind and never see at all?
Spirit, open me to the love of God within me. Give me vision into the God that dwells within me. Let me see how I can be more like Christ.
3. Hail Mary Song: A Song from Jesus
4. Hail Mary Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet
5. Hail Mary Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
6. Hail Mary - July 14, 1994 - The Rosary
R: The rosary tells us much about Christ and Mary.
How can I be Christ-like if I do not meditate on His Life? My life is to be a model after Christ's life. How can I model myself after how He loved if I am not intimately involved in a love relationship with Him?
Christ shows us the way. Jesus went through His Passion and death for our salvation and for love of us.
The more I meditate on the rosary, the more I see the oneness of Christ and His Mother. They are one in Their Hearts. They shared each Other's pains, sorrows, joys, suffering. They were so connected to each Other.
This is shown all through the Passion, her sorrows, presentation in the temple, finding in the temple, her journey into Egypt, her watching during the scourging, her journey during the Passion when Their eyes met, (this alone could be meditated on to tell Their union and suffering) putting the nails in His hands, standing under the cross, beholding His lifeless body under the cross, and after His death, laying Him in the tomb.
Their Hearts beat as one, as she suffered so silently with Him, always by His side. No mother was ever so connected with her Son.
Sorrow increases intimacy. When I suffer and give it to Christ, I am admitting how much He is truly a Person I depend on. I want to depend on Him, to be so intimate that it is He to Whom I run when my heart is torn.
He loves us so, He knows our every thought and feeling. He loves us with such attentiveness and care, and He waits for us to run to His arms and share ourselves with Him.
He longs for our love, He longs for our time. He wants us to go to Him as our best Friend, a real Person, but what a Person and what He can do for us!
You are my Savior Lord, You saved me from my sins by Your brutal death. You give me life in Your Resurrection. I am born into Your life in Baptism and You live in my heart. God lives within me. Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within my breast in a most special way when I am in the state of grace. Mary is one with Jesus.
Oh, God, I love You so. I want to know You and love You and serve You.
Spirit, open me to know my precious Lord. I am Yours to possess and I live to do Your holy will.
Father, fashion me, mold me more into the image of Jesus, Your precious Son. "...yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...(Ga 2:20). I want to be one in You, so that You live and dwell in my heart.
Meditating on the rosary is meditating on much of Christ's Life. How can I be molded more into His image if I do not meditate on Him and His Life?
The First Commandment commands that I love God above all things. What is love? Is it lip service or is it a fire that burns within the soul?
May my love of God be this flame that burns for love of each Person in God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and for Mary also. May I grow in intimacy with each Person and Mary, and may Joseph be close by her side as he stood close to Jesus and guarded Him.
7. Hail Mary I Came Silent in the Night
Jesus was born in a stable.
There was not a bed for Mary and Joseph.
They had not a pillow to lay their head.
They did not have a bed and she just had a baby.
This is the surrender Jesus calls us to.
Jesus was born in such poverty.
Jesus came silent in the night.
Do not be attached to your bed,
your sleep, your life.
Come and be one with Jesus.
Jesus was born with nothing.
Jesus died in total surrender.
Not a place to lay His head,
a manger for His head,
nowhere to lay His Head on the cross.
We cry for our discomfort.
Jesus showed us the way.
Jesus lay in a manger at birth,
Jesus died on a cross.
Both Bare Wood.
Total submission to the will of the Father.
Jesus is God, Jesus was born in silence,
Jesus was crucified a criminal.
Jesus is King. Jesus was crucified
with a crown of thorns,
Jesus was born on a bed of hay.
Jesus was crowned King of the Jews.
What do we want.
If we follow Jesus should we expect more?
Jesus' Kingdom is not of this world.
Jesus shares His crown with us
We must follow Jesus.1 Corinthian 2: 9
What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualize; all that God has prepared for those who love him;
8. Hail Mary Blue Book 6 - January 5, 1995 Rosary- The Birth of Jesus
1. R. God came to this earth, He took on a human nature. He comes with greatest love as a baby in a manger. He comes with such poverty. But the glories of that night: the angels are present and they sing and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is born a man for greatest love of us. He came to show us the way. God took on the nature of a man because He loves us so very, very much.
10. R. And Jesus hung from a cross at His death — both bare wood. No where to lay His head. This was Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He came into the world born a man to show us the way. His Father loved us so much that He gave His only Son that we may have life eternal. Jesus calls out to us this day to see the reality that this is His world; that He is here and present with us this day; that He remains with each one of us in a special way when we are baptized and in the state of grace. In such a special way He remains in our hearts. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us in a special way in our hearts when we remain in the state of grace. But God comes to us in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity, the same as the day He was born in a manger in Bethlehem.
9. Hail Mary Sing: Silent Night
10. Hail Mary Sing: What Child Is This
The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
1. Hail Mary Light, Happiness and Peace
Prayer A Hardened Heart p. 4 & 52. Hail Mary Luke 2: 22-39
And when the day came for them to be purified in keeping with the Law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord—observing what is written in the Law of the Lord: Every first–born male must be consecrated to the Lord—and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is prescribed in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons. Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon. He was an upright and devout man; he looked forward to the restoration of Israel and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he had set eyes on the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the Law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God; and he said:
As the child’s father and mother were wondering at the things that were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed—and a sword will pierce your soul too—so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’
There was a prophetess, too, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was well on in years. Her days of girlhood over, she had been married for seven years before becoming a widow. She was now eighty–four years old and never left the Temple, serving God night and day with fasting and prayer. She came up just at that moment and began to praise God; and she spoke of the child to all who looked forward to the deliverance of Jerusalem.
When they had done everything the Law of the Lord required, they went back to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth. And as the child grew to maturity, he was filled with wisdom; and God's favour was with him.
3. Hail Mary Blue Book 6 - January 5, 1995 Rosary
R. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
4. R. See the eyes of Mary gaze into the eyes of her Beloved infant child in her arms. Such connection between this Son and this mother all through Their lives. The joining of the two Hearts from the first moment of conception until He ascended into heaven; Their Hearts with greatest love for us, and Their Hearts with such love for us this day.
5. R. See the young Mary with the infant in her arms. See the old Mary as she was taken up into heaven. In between these two events are the lives Jesus and Mary shared on earth; the mysteries of the rosary that we meditate on. See the mysteries of the rosary; see how Mary and Jesus aged from young to older; how they experienced joys and sufferings; see through Mary's eyes. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born a human so that He could show us the way.
Sing: The Rosary Song
6. R. See through the eyes of Mary as she held Him as a child; as she cared for him; as she watched Him through His public life; through all of His suffering; through all of His sorrows. See through the eyes of Mary as He walked His Passion and died on the cross. See through the eyes of Mary as He rose from the dead. Death has no power over Jesus. Jesus ascended into heaven. If we look through Mary's eyes, if we feel through Mary's heart, we will be so connected to the love that Jesus has for us this very day.
7. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet
8. R. And Simeon told Mary, a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary. From the moment she came to the temple and she held her beautiful child in her arms, she knew of the sufferings to come. So as her eyes gazed on Him, through her whole life she knew of the immense suffering that her beloved child would suffer. And her heart was torn in her chest every time she beheld Him from this prophecy of Simeon.
9. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
10. R. The peering eyes of Jesus and Mary on the way to Calvary — in that peering look is what Mary held in her heart as she rocked Him as a baby, as she fed Him as a child, as she watched Him grow, as He was lost in the temple, to the bitter passion. This was her infant child that she once held and she saw Him bloodied, bruised, carrying His cross on His back; and her eyes met His. A sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary. It is through her eyes and through her heart that we will be drawn to the deepest intimacy of Jesus' Most Sacred Heart. How well the heart of Mary knows the Heart of Jesus. More than any human person, Mary knows Jesus and His immense love; that He suffered a brutal death for love of each of us, and He would die for each one of us this very day; that she comes and she appears and tells us to return to the love of her Son. And how her heart was pierced to know all the souls that would reject His love after He gave His very life, His flesh and His blood for them. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
The Finding of Jesus in the Temple
Blue Book 6 - January 5, 1995 Rosary
1. Every year his parents used to go to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up for the feast as usual. Luke 2: 41-42
2. R. Joseph and Mary left the temple and did not realize that Jesus was not with them.
3. R. Joseph and Mary, with their hearts in such sorrowing, returned to the temple to look for the child Jesus.
4. R. After searching for three days, they found Him in the temple teaching the doctors, and all were astounded at Jesus' wisdom and knowledge.
5. They were overcome when they saw him, and his mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you.’ Luke 2: 48
6. He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. Luke 2: 51
7. R. We do not realize how close Jesus and Mary are to us this day. We see with our limited vision, when Jesus and Mary are so close and within our midst. Mary forever walks by our side as our Most Loving Mother. As she walked by the side of Christ on Calvary, she never goes from our side. Jesus dwells within our hearts in a special way when we are in the state of grace and remains with us in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist.
8. R. Jesus wants us to know how He longs and He waits, and He loves us so very, very much.
9. R. Jesus thirsts for the love of our soul. He wants us to know that He loves us and He writes these letters of His love. He wants us to read these letters from our heart and know that He is a God that He is in our midst this very day. He is Divine. He outpours to us His Divine Love, He gives us so much grace when we come lovingly to the sacraments.
10. R. It is the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus that waits for us this day. The same Heart that was pierced with a lance in which water and blood poured forth. This Heart is the Most Sacred Heart. Jesus remains truly present in the Eucharist. Jesus shows us His Heart burning and on fire for love of us.

From February 4, 2007
Messenger: Jesus I love You.
You called Fr. Carter to
write this
Newsletter.
It is Your instrument to
reach the
priests.
I have walked behind You
trying to do
what You ask of me.
I have seen the letters
from the Bishops
and Cardinals and all asking for
the prayer manuals, the In Imitation
of Two Hearts Book, the Authenticity
Book and the Newsletter for their
priests.
Jesus I have said "yes"
to what it takes
to keep on believing and loving
and forgiving.
There are so many people
involved in this
to send the Priestly Newsletter to
the 78,000 priests regularly every
two months — so much to do it, but
I have relied on You God
Believed in You God
Thanked You my God —
loved You more
and obeyed Your will for me —
when it has been so very hard to
do it.
We are dependent on all
the prayer chapters,
all the prayers of the past 12 years to do
this —
We are dependent now on
you (the members and supporters) to realize how
important this is to help strengthen and
send this love to our priests —
centered in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary.
I remember in these 12
years past — now 13th
year — learning to work together to build
the Movement — to grow in greater holiness —
to beg God through the monthly 4 day retreat
we had in China and every 5th since
March 5, 1995 when Mary wanted this public
gathering in honor of the 5 blasphemies
against her Immaculate Heart and
5 wounds of Christ.
On February 5, 2000 — Fr.
Carter was very sick —
he went to Florida any way and he blessed
the rosary factory —
The Rosary factory was
there in Clearwater
until September 11, 2002.
It was hard to close the
Rosary Factory, but
the people in Southern Indiana took
it over and made the kits and rosaries and
we supply almost 200,000 rosaries,
consecration cards, rosary meditations
to schools.
On February 5, 2001, Our
Lord told me to take a
picture of the window and this is what I got.
February 5, 2001
February 4, 2007 continues
Messenger: From then on - on the
5ths - I always saw
Jesus' face in the image window.
On March 1, 2004 — the
head of the image of
Mary was destroyed by someone using
slingshot pellets sometime after
5:00 AM in the morning.
Here is how it looked
before and after the
image head was destroyed.
February 4, 2007 continues
Messenger: Last week the wall was
destroyed as you see
here. We were there, but don't know
how.
February 4, 2007 continues
Messenger: It was the day before we
got the Eucharist
exposed at our church in China, Indiana.
I keep on keeping on and
the words of this prayer
are so important to Jesus.
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
February 4, 2007 continues
Messenger: I had the vision of
heaven February 2, 2007 and I saw
St. Patrick and some sister saints —
There was peace and love and joy because
people were doing one plan —
God's plan —
I pose this plan for the February retreat
1) We begin with the 1st principle and foundation of St. Ignatius
From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. p.12
23. FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION
Man is created to praise, reverence and serve God
our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.
2) The purpose —
to let go of inordinate attachments
From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. p.11
21. SPIRITUAL EXERCISES
Which have as their purpose the conquest of self
and the regulation of one's life in such a way that
no decision is made under the influence of any
inordinate attachment
February 4, 2007 continues
Messenger: There is a cleaning to go
to confession —
to go to Mass and pray for
forgiveness.
The first day of retreat
February 10 is centered around the Mass and
emphasis on the Joyful Mysteries —
I see this in the Mass —
I let go and I give myself to the Father united to
the
sacrifice of Jesus in the Holy Spirit through
the intercession of Mary with all the
angels and saints.
God has given us the
priest
God has given us the Mass — the sacrifice of Calvary
sacramentally made present —
We want to really be
united so deeply to the Mass
all day —
as members of the body of Christ —
we lay our lives down —
we live deeply our baptismal vows
we remain in the state of grace —
What is being a saint?
It is saying "yes" in
love to what God asks of us.
It is doing ordinary things — little things in
love for souls and to please Jesus.
It is letting go of
inordinate attachments —
control, manipulation — seeking things
for our own honor and glory.
It is saying "yes" to
Jesus as He hung on the
cross — "yes" to offering up our lives
united to the Mass for the sake of souls —
to be with God in the deepest love
for all eternity.
When I was little (5
years) my mom died and my
dad suffered a nervous breakdown —
I felt alone and in that suffering I saw
the face of Jesus — always in my heart —
I knew the face of
Jesus —
Being a little girl —
February 4, 2007 continues
Messenger: in a big world —
eating food your 7th grade sister fixed —
not being able to even talk about what
happened —
But my dad was really
nervous after that and
again I was alone on my first communion.
My dad remarried
a wonderful woman who loved
us 5 children and came to my first
communion, but my dad never went and my
mom was dead —
so I saw myself — the little bride of Jesus
and
I so deeply loved receiving Him.
My dad was so nervous
after that, but he took us to
Church and saw we went to daily Mass and
benediction twice a week and we prayed the
rosary every day —
in the summer outside at the Carson house —
in the other months I had a little book and
loved
to look at the pictures and think about the
lives of Jesus and Mary.
My step-mom had a
hard job raising 5 children
not her own — but she always went to daily
Mass and my deceased mom did and that was how
they knew each other and my dad asked her
because he needed someone fast and she was
helping in his office at home at the Carson
house. He was a CPA and had his office at home —
I was little and she would type on a big
carriage type writer and I would crawl under
the table and ask her if she would come over
and be our mom.
She did and they were
married on February 11, 1953 — I was
6 then. It was the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.
She was alive until November 4, 2005 when she
died at 95.
She suffered a lot with the trials yet she lived to 95.
She brought a piano
over and I began playing the
piano at 7 — I was really shy my whole life.
I have played the piano for 53 years.
Why this history —
One may say — "oh how sad she lost her mom at
five years old".
When I got married my
dad was still nervous
and my husband's parents were stuck in
snow in Virginia so my dad and his
parents never went to our wedding.
Another cross —
no another gift —
On the way to Calvary
Christ carried His cross —
this is the way God the Father willed it.
Christ was born in a
stable
This is the way God the Father willed it.
Jesus was beaten for
our sins
This is the way God the Father willed it.
Fr. Carter used to be
so upset when I drove home
from China late — he would stay on the
phone and talk to me, he said he didn't
want me to die.
Today as I try,
without Fr. Carter, to do this
work, I miss the deep love he showed
to every one of us in the Movement.
The Movement is what it is today because
of Fr. Carter's love.
His books were books
about Christ's love —
The Christ event
He even had written a book about mysticism —
He said he had
the mystical marriage or
he never could have done this work
demanded of him in the Movement.
A man sowed seed and
then he died —
others were left to its care —
should they not show as much care
as he who planted it —
water it and watch it grow so
it will prosper.
A little child had
one toy — she was poor
and it was a little rag doll —
Other children
came one day while
she was at church and stepped
on it and called it ugly —
they tore its little arm off and
the child cried
To much who is given, much is expected —
Jesus loved us so much He died for love of us.
God is love —
If we fail to love —
we fail to do what God is all about
1 Corinthians 13: 1-13
Though I command languages both human and angelic—if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains—if I am without love, I am nothing. Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned—if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited, it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth. It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it will be done away with. For we know only imperfectly, and we prophesy imperfectly; but once perfection comes, all imperfect things will be done away with. When I was a child, I used to talk like a child, and see things as a child does, and think like a child; but now that I have become an adult, I have finished with all childish ways. Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face. Now I can know only imperfectly; but then I shall know just as fully as I am myself known.
As it is, these remain: faith, hope and love, the three of them; and the greatest of them is love.
February 4, 2007 continues
Messenger: It is up to each and
every one of us to work
through old wounds —
because we must be likened to Christ —
God is love —
We must let go of
anger, resentment —
to have hearts like Jesus and Mary —
In this retreat
we beg God to heal us of
past memories that are big wounds
we project on others so we can love
like Jesus wants —
Healing grace has
been given in these retreats
I have watched God change hearts
overnight — to hearts living deeply
in love according to His will — letting
go of inordinate attachments —
healing wounds
that keep us stuck
like mummies —
Look at Christ —
born in a stable
born on bare wood — no frills —
Look at the wounds —
all over His body
for our sins —
Then He hung to His
death —
shed all His blood —
gave the last beat of His Heart
And was wrapped in burial cloths —
But He dropped
them.
His body was glorified.
His wounds were glorified.
I have watched God
want us to obey Him
and He gives us tremendous grace
to do something and
then someone can
become prideful,
envious — wanting dominance
like Eve in the garden
and the fall —
If God is giving us all these gifts —
How come we have to seek dominance
for dominance sake and
then why should God outpour
His grace so we can disobey
and work against His plan.
Grace is the answer —
Being united in the Morning Offering —
all day — united to the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass — begging for grace —
Going to Mass and
praying so deeply united
for tremendous grace for us and the
whole world.
What did Christ show us about the
Son of God —
It is summarized in this prayer —
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

Messenger: He went to the cross,
Jesus, the Son of God,
like one running in a race —
His Heart was consumed with so much
love for His precious souls —
He wanted the Father's will —
I say "yes" to this mission
Every priest should say a "yes" in
their heart that is heard around
the world to the people in the
Church.
Because I am
persecuted I don't give
up —
Because Christ was
beaten — He did
God's will
Men do not determine
our actions —
we live to serve God and obey
as the Church dictates —
We are the sons of
God — we love God
so dearly —
We look up to God to learn about our
lives and how we must act —
The world may be getting more secular —
We follow Jesus —
Look at what Jesus gave for us —
He planted the seeds —
do we rip off the arm of
the precious rag doll to
make room for our plastic trophies.
In this retreat we pray for healing
Deep healing from
the wounds
Deep healing from bad habits
Deep healing to be able to carry a
flag of victory in this secular
world —
Jesus has called us —
every time I look
at a rosary and see
the crucifix I see Him
hanging to His death
for me
He paid a
precious price for my
sins
From December 7, 2006
From the cross —
Jesus heard me whisper
"I love you Jesus" YES - Yes
Jesus speaks:
As I hung on the cross, I heard
the whispering of your voice to Me
"I love you Jesus"
When others were cold - treating Me
without a personal love
relationship - I heard your
voice to Me.
You said
"I love you, Jesus"
"I love your souls, Jesus"
"I want to be with you in heaven
in deepest love, Jesus"
Others were so busy, not giving a
thought to Me and
You came before the Eucharist and
I knew how hard you were working
trying to love and be good and you looked
like crying sometimes and then you
looked at the exposed Eucharist and
said
"I love you, Jesus, help me, Jesus
I want Your help" and I saw
you - looking tired and feeling
so wounded sometimes because
you wanted the world to be good and
love Me and
then you would cry and say
"Oh Jesus can't You help us now -
I want the world to know You and love
You, but Jesus only You can do this" and
you would look at the Exposed host
and cry some more and say
"Oh Jesus I love you so much —
You are everything to me —
Jesus - help me do this —
please Jesus help me"
and then you would try to do things to
help spread My gospel and My love
and tell people about the Eucharist and
the consecration and people were
always in a hurry wanting to do
their "busy" things and — sometimes
things were hard to do and you tried and tried
and talked to me and
then I heard you say —
"But Jesus, I do it all for You Jesus,
I love You so much Jesus, help me
please"
And I hung on the cross and I saw
you there today struggling and sometimes
crying in desperation and I heard you
whisper "I love you Jesus" and
you were faithful to Me and I saw
it — I saw and loved your faithfulness
and it comforted Me when I was bleeding
and so wounded on the cross.
I heard you say and never afraid to
say it "I love you Jesus, I want
to be in heaven with you someday
in the deepest love —
Help me Jesus I want to do this
work for You and I want souls to be
good like the Father wants and get to
heaven" and I heard you say as I
hung on the cross — knowing many
would listen
"I love You Jesus"
And you never stopped trying
with enthusiasm you did it —
with energy and love — not worrying
who rejected you and
then some came and argued with you —
tried you over and over again and
you kept doing it anyway saying
"I love you, Jesus"
Then you kissed My pierced feet
on the crucifix and gazed
at My wounded side and
No matter what happened — you
never quit for the sake of My precious
souls —
I knew you would do this today
in all the sin and rejection and
arguments —
You would keep on — keeping on,
sometimes crying, but saying
"I love You Jesus"
And to others, many - you were never good
enough - you were judged and persecuted
but you kept on saying
"I love You Jesus, strengthen me, help me
give me grace - Jesus I need you"
"Not by my might God
only You can do this"
And I hung to My death seeing
My precious souls — knowing
you loved them so much too and
you would beg Me to help you do
what the Father wanted of the
human race for the sake of souls -
then you cried
"I love You Jesus —
please help me
strength me
I love You so much"
When you thought you were doing
something wrong — you wanted to
change it to do the right thing —
you prayed for this and
I heard you talk. You said to God the Father and
to Me and to the Holy Spirit — "I
love you so much!!"
